Sarah Worthman @booksandtea123.bsky.social · 26/07/2025I've been digging into the MUN budget. Despite these "necessary" cuts to things like the Harris Centre, the admin is adding an extra $1,536,493 Administrative Salaries totalling $126,665,836 for 2025-26. They allocated $470,915 for 100th anniversary programming and to a Canada games project office. 163

Sarah Worthman @booksandtea123.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Spoilers for The Testaments by @margaretatwood.bsky.social The book completely fumbled what could be a beautiful queer storyline between Agnes and Becka.
